Do you offer a custom blending service?

We offer 2 ways to custom blend. Our Custom Blend Foundation is an equal combination of 2 of your choice shades of Flawless Mineral Foundation. We also recently launched a new revolutionary product exclusive to our brand; Signature Blend. This new foundation goes beyond custom blending and is guaranteed to match your skin perfectly because we create an exact duplicate of your favorite shade in our mineral formula and assign a recipe code specific to your new blend.

Is powder foundation a good idea for aging skin? I’ve heard powder makes you look older?.

KmS Flawless Mineral and Select Botanical Foundation has a silk-like texture that lays on top your skin flawlessly, and won’t settle into lines or wrinkles like conventional powders containing talc and cornstarch tend to do. In addition, KmS Foundation’s luminosity deflects light away from your skin, giving you an overall softer and younger looking appearance!

What can I do to be sure I am getting the most out of my mineral makeup?

That’s easy! First, make sure your skin is moisturized properly before applying your foundation. Mineral powder is applied dry, and your skin may feel drier if you skip this step. Secondly, a good application brush is essential to achieve the ultimate cosmetic finish. Choose our Kabuki brush for light coverage, or our Application brush for medium to full coverage.

Does KmS Mineral Essentials foundation offer sun protection?

The KmS foundation line provides natural sun protection equal to an SPF 15.

What is an undertone? How do I find mine?

An undertone falls into three categories; cool, warm and neutral. The best way to determine your undertone is to examine the color of your veins on the underside of your arm. If your veins are blue, your undertone is cool. If your veins are green, your undertone is warm. If you are veins are a combination of both colors, which may or may not include yellow, your undertone is neutral. Once you discover your undertone, you will be able to choose an appropriate foundation shade in that particular family.

How do I apply KmS Flawless Mineral Foundation?

Sprinkle a very small amount onto the lid of your jar, makeup palette or small plate. Swirl your application brush into the minerals until the product is tucked deep inside the brush. Tap off the excess powder on the side of the jar, preferably over your bathroom sink, or vanity. Buff the minerals onto your skin in an upward, circular motion, re-applying until you achieve the coverage you desire. When finished, use a clean Kabuki or Powder brush to brush away product that may have been left behind such as around your nose, brows and ears. An application guide is included with your first KmS Loose Mineral Foundation or sample.

What is the shelf-life of KmS products?

KmS loose mineral powders do not harbor bacteria like most brands because of our raw natural ingredients. Our loose mineral powders do not contain preservatives which results in an infinite shelf-life. The shelf life of our other cosmetics and skincare will be listed on the back or bottom of the product.

What makes KmS different than other mineral makeup brands?

KmS Mineral Essentials products are created specifically for those with sensitive skin and for those that experience problematic skin conditions such as Acne and Rosacea. Our products are free of fragrance, irritants such as Bismuth Oxychloride and glutens. Our loose mineral makeup is handcrafted and made to order. KmS is also the first mineral makeup company to offer Signature Blend foundation; a totally personalized foundation that makes it possible for women to switch to a natural mineral makeup without leaving their favorite shade behind! Our passion is to establish a personal relationship with our clients to better understand their unique beauty needs.

I have used Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals in the past. How does KmS compare?

KmS loose mineral powders compare to the quality of the Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals line. The major difference is that our cosmetics do not contain Bismuth Oxychloride found in the Bare Minerals product. Bismuth Oxychloride is a natural mineral; and known skin irritant. In most cases, it can cause breakouts and/or skin irritation for many women, even those that do not normally have sensitive skin. You will find that our loose mineral powder has more of a silky consistency when compared to Bare Minerals which results in a less “powdered” look. KmS loose mineral foundation also contains a natural mineral called Kaolin Clay that is known for it’s excellent oil absorption properties, resulting in all-day-wear and beyond!
